It's something... uh, substantial? ... Then again, some advice along with it would be nice, too... assuming you'd have something like that in the first place. I just figured you'd be the right person to ask...
[If anything, she'll make entertainment. When Ryoji's at the door, Lily answers and it looks like she's just in a robe. Sure, it looks thick and could be pretty warm, but there was no way to know if she was wearing anything underneath.
It was hard to tell if she was like that in the video. ... Huh.]
Well, hurry up inside. I invited you, but not the snow.
[This would be definitely easy to make entertainment from, at least. And Ryoji does take note of the robe, but doesn't really dwell that much on it. Lily just seemed to look nice in almost anything.
When the woman invites him inside, he doesn't need to be told twice.]
Looking pretty as ever, Lily-chan~
Should I leave the things on the kitchen table, as always?
Apparently not eating 'properly' can slowly kill you. Go figure, right? My mouth was bloody and I was getting bruises everywhere before someone fixed it up. According to them, I've had it... probably not long after coming back to life.
Oh... that sounds a little nasty. I guess a lady needs to watch her diet a bit more, huh. But everything's alright by now? You said that someone fixed it for you?
You'll probably still need to pay attention to what you eat, I take it? All the more reason for me to keep bringing you stuff.
[What was that, Ryoji? You think this is a lady thing? Well what if she just walked around and grabbed you by the scarf? Huh? Maybe that'd be a guy problem. (Man, anything for good reactions.)]
You never say 'a lady needs to watch her diet,' Ji. Arasso?
[Uh-oh. Was that the wrong button to push? Lily, you were scary when you were angry, and Ryoji might not show it much, but he was actually panicking a bit on the inside right now.]
I didn't mean to be rude! I just figured that you guys might be a bit more delicate in that regard...
[But what if Lily didn't want to have that pointed out? ... He should probably learn to be a bit more considerate of those kind of things, huh...]
[She certainly can act scary. It's fun to see you sweat it out a bit, so she's just going to continue. Even if she really was fine with the apology. Please bear with it, Ryoji~]
Delicate, you say? Can someone that wears a scarf all the time really know who's more delicate?
I think it's a good thing you're with a guy. Otherwise you'd be a victim.
[You know, Lily... the moment you bring his scarf into the conversation, Ryoji clearly tenses even more than he had before. Because OMG HOW DID YOU EVEN KNOW THAT HIS NECK WAS SENSITIVE; OBVIOUSLY THAT'S WHAT YOU JUST IMPLIED?!]
[Yes. This is naturally what she implied, and not a total coincidence. She doesn't get why that tensed him up more, but anything that works out this well obviously deserves to be taken advantage of.]
Because if you said this to girls a lot, then you'd have to like getting punished.
[Did you just lose your nerve, Ryoji? Why? And now it's back to business... Well, she'll just get a couple of cleaned out mason jars and get those filled up with water. One for them both.]
[You know, if this didn't get her food and other stuff you'd be out of luck, Ryoji. So she downs her own glass of water before returning the emptied mason jar to the sink.]
Okay. You know where the supplies are supposed to go. I'll open a window in my room and we can look.
[Because you probably don't want to pass out and go through some drug trip. So while heading for her bedroom,]
[Well, she was mostly assuming that the bag of stuff was food or something. Because he's not getting much direction after that. Instead Lily's just going to her room and cracking open a window before going to the closet and taking down a couple of the boxes.]
When I was packing up to leave, it's possible that I left the lube for the roommates.
[One big box going onto the bed before she tries pulling out another.]
If I didn't show up here with the trolly, I wouldn't have to question it. Would've just tossed you off towards the clinic to ask the lady there.
[... Ryoji will just go ahead and follow her there, yes. Once inside of the room, he just takes a short look around before turning to observe Lily instead.]
Packing to leave? Did you live somewhere else before, Lily-chan?
[At the mention of the clinic, though? Don't mind Ryoji if he goes a bit pale there.]
... You mean Unohana-san? ... What are the chances of you having it instead again?
[You do that, she'll be getting through the coats and shoes to get deeper into the larger box here.]
Before I showed up in this hell pit, I was moving out of my flat back in London. The mates worked in similar enough circles that it's possible I left the stuff for them.
What, you scared of that woman or something? I thought you liked that type.
Uno? She's like other den mums, just without the swearing.
[Taking some of the stuff out to put on the bed. Back to working her way down into there! It's taking a while because she's being careful and also checking inside some of the shoes to make sure it didn't fall in there.]
You're always around people that can be scary. Always figured you were a sucker for that sort of thing.
Do I? ... I've never thought about it like that... but I suppose it comes from the fact that the majority of the people here turn out to be more scary than not? And you can rarely tell that at first sight...
[A soft chuckle there.]
Besides, just about anyone can be scary if you manage to push the wrong buttons with them.
[He's just staring as Lily takes yet another of those boxes out.]
Should I give you a hand with all of this stuff, somehow?
There's a difference between a bunch of people turning out to be scary and deciding you'd rather hang around them. Face it, Kida's probably the only one of your friends that doesn't fit that.
[Instead he's super sad and pathetic, but kinda fun to mess with.]
And it's probably best that you just sit or something. You wouldn't want to accidentally put a hole through the stuff.
I just doubt your experience with a lady's delicates, Ji.
[And there she goes with the double meanings again.]
Mm... Why would anyone think you're scary? I'm more spooked by doctors than people my age who do... whatever. Not really my business what exactly it is you are or do.
[He does catch the double meaning there... and for a moment he wonders if he should argue about that or just drop it. ... It would probably be wiser to do the latter.]
Doctors, huh... well, I suppose our school nurse was kind of weird.
[As Lily went on, though... Yeah. What was that about the people here being full of surprises, again?]
And, well... do you remember anything from the time we were stuck in our dreams? I imagine you can tell by now that I'm... not exactly normal.
I mean, if it doesn't bother you, then I'm more than happy about the fact. I guess I'm just... positively surprised how most of the people here seem to be so accepting of something like that.
Speaking of Masaomi earlier... I think he's been freaking out the most in regards to this so far. I suppose that just means I'm scarier than he is, unlike compared to all my other friends.
[Definitely better to drop before it gets spun into something worse.]
Sure I remember. I also remember cheesing the dream by hopping around and getting on some horse. Seemed cool enough, and that kind of stuff doesn't get to me. Not as much as people slowly drawing blood out of you, or cutting you up.
[But Kiki...]
Him freaking out isn't so much of a surprise, is it? No matter how scary he can be, Kiki's a pretty big coward when it comes to things he finds out about those around him. He probably wouldn't blink if you were more of a stranger.

[video] let the disaster thread begin
Are you home right now?
[video] gather all the popcorn
That depends. Why?
[video] all of it
I was thinking about paying you a visit... with some supplies for you, of course.
...And a specific kind of request this time.
[video] Also junior mints and sweet tea
... What kind of request?
[video] hide your kids and hide your wife, too. just in case
[...personal? Embarrassing? Who the hell even knew, maybe it wasn't even that big of a deal, but...]
[video] also hide the pets
[If you're going to be that shy about it, she could at least wonder if props are needed.]
[video] and your husband too
[This was Ryoji. Trying to be vague.]
[video] luckily stalkers can hide themselves
[She better not regret this, Ji-chan. Otherwise you'll go through things.]
Yeah, I'm at my place again.
[video]-->[offline] |D
So it's okay? I'll be there in a moment, then!
[And with that Ryoji cuts the feed, shortly showing up with a bag full of stuff at Lily's door. He's still knocking, not to be rude.]
[offline]
It was hard to tell if she was like that in the video. ... Huh.]
Well, hurry up inside. I invited you, but not the snow.

When the woman invites him inside, he doesn't need to be told twice.]
Looking pretty as ever, Lily-chan~
Should I leave the things on the kitchen table, as always?
[offline]
So you're saying that I always look like I've had scurvy. Is that it?
[Such an inquisitive tone that could easily be dangerous underneath. Lily just closes the door once he's inside enough.]
Just like usual, Ji.
no subject
Huh? ...scurvy?
[Clearly someone's clueless to what that even is.]
no subject
no subject
You'll probably still need to pay attention to what you eat, I take it? All the more reason for me to keep bringing you stuff.

... Sorry. I say stupid stuff sometimes.
no subject
Delicate, you say? Can someone that wears a scarf all the time really know who's more delicate?
I think it's a good thing you're with a guy. Otherwise you'd be a victim.
no subject
... H-How would I be a victim?
[Aww look, he's even stuttering now.]
no subject
Because if you said this to girls a lot, then you'd have to like getting punished.
no subject
... Ryoji lets himself smirk a little at that comment, though. He could try turning this around a bit...?]
Oh... well, that depends on what kind of punishment it would be?
no subject
Oh? Do you want to become a cheater, Ji?
Because it sounds like you're hoping that's the kind of punishment I mean.
no subject
And way to go, Lily. You just made someone blush and freak out further.]
Cheater? ... Dear, no... I thought we meant that in the sense that 'if Joshua was a girl'... assuming that... well, uh... but he's not, so...
[...]
Which is also kind of... tied to the reason why I'm here...
[... Ryoji, this wasn't supposed to be as awkward.]
no subject
Okay, spill. What's the actual reason you came?
[Wait...]
Do you need a how-to on sex with guys?
no subject
Not... quite. Though some kind of advice in that regard would be appreciated, too, actually...
[There was nothing to be embarrassed about here, right? And sorry, Lily, but he honestly has no idea who else to ask.]
But I was wondering... if you might have some kind of, uh... lubricant? ... for that kind of thing?
no subject
Okay. You know where the supplies are supposed to go. I'll open a window in my room and we can look.
[Because you probably don't want to pass out and go through some drug trip. So while heading for her bedroom,]
We'll talk while doing that.
no subject
Would it be okay if he took that jar along with him for now? He wasn't sure if he should just leave it by the sink there as well or not...]
Uh... sure?
[He should follow her, right?]
no subject
When I was packing up to leave, it's possible that I left the lube for the roommates.

... You mean Unohana-san? ... What are the chances of you having it instead again?
no subject
Before I showed up in this hell pit, I was moving out of my flat back in London. The mates worked in similar enough circles that it's possible I left the stuff for them.
What, you scared of that woman or something? I thought you liked that type.
no subject
I see...
[So she lived with guys that were just like her?]
Let's just say... I managed to get on Unohana's bad side once. You have no idea how scary she can be when she's angry.
... And wait, what kind of type do you have in mind there? You think I'm fond of older ladies?
no subject
Uno? She's like other den mums, just without the swearing.
[Taking some of the stuff out to put on the bed. Back to working her way down into there! It's taking a while because she's being careful and also checking inside some of the shoes to make sure it didn't fall in there.]
You're always around people that can be scary. Always figured you were a sucker for that sort of thing.

And it's probably best that you just sit or something. You wouldn't want to accidentally put a hole through the stuff.
no subject
[Now that... gets him to think for a moment there.]
You know, when you put it like that...
[He's never actually thought about it? ... But Lily does have a point with that. There were also a few exceptions, of course, but mostly...]
I guess, in actuality... I'm just not that scared of people in general, no matter who or what they are.
[Like attracts the like? Wasn't there a saying that went along those lines? Well... while they were already on the topic...]
Speaking of which... You don't find me scary, Lily-chan, do you?
no subject
[And there she goes with the double meanings again.]
Mm... Why would anyone think you're scary? I'm more spooked by doctors than people my age who do... whatever. Not really my business what exactly it is you are or do.

Speaking of Masaomi earlier... I think he's been freaking out the most in regards to this so far. I suppose that just means I'm scarier than he is, unlike compared to all my other friends.
[The irony of it all.]
no subject
Sure I remember. I also remember cheesing the dream by hopping around and getting on some horse. Seemed cool enough, and that kind of stuff doesn't get to me. Not as much as people slowly drawing blood out of you, or cutting you up.
[But Kiki...]
Him freaking out isn't so much of a surprise, is it? No matter how scary he can be, Kiki's a pretty big coward when it comes to things he finds out about those around him. He probably wouldn't blink if you were more of a stranger.
